Well, well. What’s this? A bright, sunny morning here in east central Scotland, with a bit of warmth, and no wind? Rare. So heading out for a brisk walk along the waterfront. Filled up with Pipe Force Episode IV (the one with the stoved Katerini & Rustica, Latakia, and red Virginia). In a Brigham straight Rhodesian.

Nice walk, nice smoke. The Episode IV was flavourful, dry and musty, a bit of herbal. I used less than an eighth of a flake, crumbled gently, not rubbed out, and filled the little pebbles medium loose. There is the expected expansion with the flame. The smoky astringent aftertaste on the lips and tongue is a pleasant reminder. The Brigham gave a nice smoke, no gurgle, the rock maple insert doing its job. No relight required, except one that followed a firm-ish tamp down. The walk along the Tay was a simple joy. It was low tide, the lowest I have seen for a long while, and the waders were all out stepping amongst the mud, seeking their breakfast; grey heron, curlew, oystercatchers, sandpiper, and a plump grey seal floated toward me on the pier, blowing and snorting occasionally. Nice gentle start to the day!

is that a new Meerschaum?

I picked it up back in April but haven’t smoked but a few bowls in it so far. It’s been easier to just grab that poker and head outside so I’ve been lazy with it.

Second bowl last night by the fire. Local Shop blend “Alvin’s Mix” in the Pipes Depot Rusticated Bulldog. The blend is Cavendish heavy with deep chocolate notes.

I cant get a good picture today, its dark and gray. This is the new to me kai. I cleaned it up, steamed out some damage and matched the stain. Smoking some Louisana Broken plus salty dogs. Maybe we will have sun in a couple of days. This gloom is getting old fast.

Edit...new photo taken outside.
